    I think I'll check for the o-ring. Thanks for the help!

    Fuel filter drain leaking

    I'm noticing that when I park, the drain hose for the stock fuel filter onto the driveway. Is this normal? The drain cap on the fuel filter is tight.

    Intermittent Alt 1 light

    The new alternator is on. The gauge initially went to the high end of the gauge. Might've been since it was catching the battery back up to par. It was charging at 14.48v while Alt 2 was 14.40v. After a drive the gauge has come down a bit. The dash light has been consistently on. The new...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Replaced Alt 1, all belts, and the harmonic balancer. The charging system is now to the high end of green and the belt squealing has stopped. The crank pulley still has a little wave to it but nothing like before.

    Intermittent Alt 1 light

    Awesome and thoughtful response! The foot has healed enough to get back on the motorcycle. That's a great way to get by that I wasn't aware of. The new alternator should arrive this week and I could be back up and running this weekend.

    Intermittent Alt 1 light

    Well...It was going well and then the rear bearing didn't want to come out and the housing is toast. Now I'm looking for a new one. I hate it when I do that.

    Intermittent Alt 1 light

    Update - I've contacted 2 vendors. Kits look similar but one includes the hardware and other one does not. I'm placing an order and I'll update with the results.

    Intermittent Alt 1 light

    Yes I have. The links to the kits don't work. The other links lead to multiple kits. Tow4 is the member I PM'd over a month ago and haven't heard back from. Which kit/parts are necessary?

    Intermittent Alt 1 light

    So my Alt 1 threw a belt on the highway this morning. The alternator has been intermittent with the light coming on at start and not working. While the pulley still turns, I'm thinking of getting a rebuild kit and a new set of belts for the entire truck. Does anyone know what kit to get for...

    Intermittent Alt 1 light

    UPDATE I went through the steps above. The posts were tight. I removed and cleaned the ground with sand paper. The red wire was tight and clean. I've been driving it daily due to a broken foot and this is the only vehicle I own without a clutch. It works more often than it doesn't but it...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    The search comes up with a lot of potential options. Do you have a manufacturer or a part number that your using? The color looks good.

    What is the paint that you use?

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Would this A/C kit preclude a turbo based on it's location?

    Intermittent Alt 1 light

    I swapped the bulb but no change. Sometimes it comes on and other times it doesn't. I'll look for that wire next.

    Ordered some #194 bulbs and I'll try that first.

    Intermittent Alt 1 light

    I'm not sure if I have an issue or one developing. I have an Alt 1 light that sometimes doesn't light when I start the truck. I've had the dash off and cleaned the contracts with an eraser for the plug and connection to the lamps. I've cleaned the lamp plug also. I believe the contacts to be...

    GM Spin On Fuel Filter Conversion

    Does this new filter assembly allow you to prime it with a buttom or something?

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Did you loose the water in fuel sensor? Does it have a fuel heater?

    Mystery bolt

    This is my current thought also. No leaks and no more noise. I'm really surprised it waited this long to make it's debut. I've put over 3K on it and a lot of off-roading.
